Employee Performance

Employee Performance:

My boss asked me for a letter describing my partner Bob Smith, and this is what I wrote:

• 1. Bob Smith, my assistant programmer, can always be found
• 2. hard at work in his cubicle. Bob works independently, without
• 3. wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never
• 4. thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
• 5. finishes given assignments on time. Often Bob takes extended
• 6. measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
• 7. breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no
• 8. vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
• 9. knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be
• 10. classed as a high-caliber employee, the type which cannot be
• 11. dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be
• 12. promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
• 13. executed as soon as possible.

Shortly afterward I sent the following follow-up note:

That bastard Bob was reading over my shoulder while I wrote the report sent to you earlier today. Kindly read only the odd numbered lines (1, 3, 5, etc. red in colour) for my true assessment.

Regards,

S.D.
